One Piece: The Will of Conqueror is the strongest

"Is it this force that's affecting my elementalization?"

Kuzan climbed out of the ice wall and looked at the slowly fading lines on his right hand, realizing that this was the reason he hadn't been able to dodge Brando's punch by transforming into an elemental form.

At this moment, Kuzan's face was covered with fist marks, and his nose was bleeding.

Brando fared even worse; he felt that part of the bones in his face might have been shattered. If he hadn't been consistently training and hadn't had Shukaku's help this time, that punch would have been fatal.

Blood is still flowing from the corner of his mouth. Shukaku's chakra is being injected to activate the Uzumaki bloodline, and his injuries are healing rapidly, but it's very painful.

"You are indeed very strong."

Kuzan did not continue to attack, but instead acknowledged Brando's stance.

He had a pretty good grasp of Brando's abilities, and he was waiting for the special markings on his arm to disappear. He was sure he wouldn't fall for it again. In his current state, if they continued fighting, he would definitely win.

"Unfortunately, you don't qualify as a true powerhouse in my eyes."

"You're a coward who avoids reality. You don't even have Conqueror's Haki. No wonder you willingly became the Celestial Dragons' lackey."

Brando's speech was still somewhat unclear.

Although he has the power of Shukaku, it is still difficult to fight against this kind of muscle-bound fighter. His stats are not high enough. If he could stack a buff, it might be better.

For example, adding a dual-color domineering aura or a Sage Mode, and multiplying these values ​​together, can create a numerical monster.

"I didn't originally intend to get rid of you, but it seems that if we continue to let you go, many people will die."

So, I think I'll stay here.

Kuzan had just considered what would happen if he let Brando go and allowed him to continue targeting the Celestial Dragons.

No matter how you look at it in the end, people will die, many people will die.

This is not in line with his sense of justice. Although he wants to solve this messed-up world, Brando's method may be effective, but it is not what he wants.

"Tch, you think you've already won?"

"Don't be so arrogant. If you had that kind of confidence when facing the Celestial Dragons, you wouldn't be working as their dog."

Brando's view of the Navy is that it is the Celestial Dragons' dogs that patrol the seas, guarding these countries for them, while tearing apart unruly livestock.

The so-called justice of the Navy needs to be carried out under the orders of the Celestial Dragons, and it is impossible to carry it out to the end.

"That's enough!"

"A dog, a dog indeed! The Navy isn't a dog!"

Kuzan was getting anxious.

He believes that the Navy has its own soul and is not the Celestial Dragons' dogs.

"Hahaha!"

Brando couldn't help but laugh.

He was deceiving himself; he even fooled himself.

"By the way, please tell the Five Elders that my nickname is no longer 'Red-Eyes,' but 'Celestial Dragon Hunter.'"

Just as Kuzan was about to stop Brando's smile with his fist, Brando suddenly spoke up.

"You won't have that chance again."

Kuzan decided to smash Brando's mouth in.

Huntering a Celestial Dragon? No one has ever done that before.

"Bang!"

But as soon as Kuzan finished speaking, Brando turned into a cloud of white smoke and disappeared from the spot.

"?"

Kuzan was stunned.

At the same time, he frowned and quickly used his Observation Haki to investigate the surroundings. He found that apart from the two clones, Brando's main body had disappeared, and the two clones had also turned into smoke and vanished.

"No...not a breath at all!"

"How is this possible?"

Kuzan couldn't understand it.

He was certain that what he had just seen was Brando's true form, not a clone created by a Devil Fruit ability.

Moreover, his Observation Haki had been locked onto this guy the whole time, and he hadn't let his guard down from the very beginning. He was certain that Brando had vanished into thin air.

"Is that the same aura that suddenly left the battlefield?"

Kuzan remembered that Brando had previously had an avatar escape, but he thought it was a trick Brando used to deceive him, trying to make him believe that the real body had escaped, so he ignored it.

It was later confirmed that Brando's true identity was indeed the one they had locked onto.

"We still got tricked. That guy is really despicable."

Kuzan sighed.

Does this mean that if I really want to do something, I will always fail?

He was called a dog for ages, but in the end he only managed to punch the other person twice, and the other person still managed to escape.

After standing there in a daze for a while, Kuzan took out a Den Den Mushi and began to contact the Five Elders.

"Is it Kuzan?"

After the Den Den Mushi was connected, a dignified voice came from the other end.

"It's because... my mission failed."

Kuzan's answer was somewhat difficult.

"What's going on? A 500 million Berry bounty criminal, surely a Marine Admiral wouldn't fail to catch him?"

The Five Elders' tone wasn't very friendly, as if they thought Kuzan had gone easy on them.

"Red-eyed Devil Fruit abilities are very special, allowing the user to use a variety of powers, including fire, clones, transformation, magnetism, and sand manipulation."

"But he was no match for me either. However, just when I was about to defeat him, he suddenly disappeared. It was probably some kind of teleportation ability."

Kuzan answered very decisively.

He believes he did not turn a blind eye; perhaps he did at the beginning, but not later.

"Manipulating sand?"

"Is this guy's ability similar to Charlotte Linlin's, capable of using multiple abilities, or does he steal the abilities of others?"

The Five Elders were also surprised.

They racked their brains but could never have imagined that this power came from that Devil Fruit.

It can only be speculated that a new direction has emerged in the development of a certain Devil Fruit.

There will be no next time.

The Five Elders didn't want to waste any more words; they were very unhappy that they hadn't gotten rid of Brando, this troublesome fellow.

However, the admiral couldn't directly reprimand him, so he left this warning and hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Kuzan stared at the Den Den Mushi with a gloomy expression.

"Do I really look like a dog?"

Kuzan felt that everything he did for the Celestial Dragons was completely meaningless.

Looking at the ice slowly melting in the desert around him, Kuzan felt as if his own justice was being constantly consumed and melted away.

......

"Next time I catch a Celestial Dragon, I'm going to livestream my 'discipline' of him!!"

Brando, lying on top of Banley's head, said angrily.

The escaped shadow clone found Banrei and had him use the Reverse Summoning Technique to teleport Brando away.

Fortunately, we had practiced in the small garden beforehand, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to use the spotlight so skillfully.

"Hmph, Xiaodu, you piece of trash, even after I lent you my chakra, you still can't beat him."

In the mental space, Shukaku seized every opportunity to mock Brando.

"What do you mean I can't win? I'm just retreating temporarily!"

Brando was unconvinced and said defiantly.

He felt that Shukaku's power was too weak. If Kurama's power were lent to him, he would definitely win!

Shukaku's stats aren't as strong as Kurama's, and the skin it comes with isn't cool enough. Kurama's mode is like a paid VIP 12 level, while Shukaku's is like a free 6 yuan character, covered in tattoos, and doesn't look good.

"Tsk..."

Shukaku shook its head; it felt that Brando's toughest feature was his mouth.

"You have gained the approval of the Will of the Overlord..."
